  11. 7 things you should know about clickers - answers • Personal response systems (PRS) enable students to use a remote control or “clicker” to answer questions posed by their professors. • Most of universities, k-12, libraries, and business institutes • The i-Clicker system offers a simple clicker with five, large, multiple-choice buttons, an on-off button, and lights that confirm responses have been received. The software is flexible, cross-platform, and open source. • A typical PRS comprises hand-held transmitters, or “clickers,” for students to submit answers, receivers that collect the answers, and software that creates the question slides and displays the statistics of the student answers in real time. • Students have to purchase on top of textbooks and tuitions and more likely the publishers/vendors’ profits not for the education purpose. • With today’s technology, more professors are using the PRS due to the large classroom size and some students monopolize the classroom discussion. The iClicker is the most easy, simple, and light to use. • Students will more participate and interact in the classroom using the clickers. Therefore, this technology will enhance both teachers and students teaching and learning.
